Now, in preparation for the next issue of BurdaStyle, we want to know: WHAT’S THEMOSTUNIQUESEWINGTOOLYOU CAN’T LIVEWITHOUT?

Comment below with what it is and what it does. And include your first name, last initial, city, and country (or State if you live in the US). Your insider tip could appear in the next issue of BurdaStyle US!

I have heard that it reappears. It gets cold here in Colorado and I have not had that happen to me yet. I have spoken with others who have said it washes out and disappears after cleaning. Try on a sample first.

Wash-out felt-tip pen (used by children) for tracing pattern pieces, for white or light-coloured blouses and dresses. I always try it beforehand using a small scrap of the fabric.
Oven-paper (in roll) for copying the pattern pieces, it’s cheap, see-through, strong and usually wide enough.
